Co-directed by her daughter, this new doc on Donna Summer gives us a peak at the real woman behind the iconic image.

Reflect (2023), A Mind-Bending Metaphysical Journey Into the Unknown
As a film critic, there’s nothing more satisfying than discovering a director with a truly distinctive and entertaining style. With so many films I come across, I feel as though I’m watching something I’ve seen before, simply pushed through a grinder to give it a unique texture. It may look a little different, but it’s […]
SXSW: The New Americans: Gaming a Revolution
An engrossing documentary about the new age of financial and digital disruption. Ondi Timoner takes a complicated subject and makes it accessible and entertaining.
Napoleon
Napoleon can be a good war epic, but the character development made Napoleon hateable and not interesting!!! Real Rating: 3.5 Cannons What I Like: -The battle scenes were epic, director Ridley Scott executed some mind blowing effects that will keep you engaged The So So: -The acting was good in certain aspects, but as for […]
The Big Short Review
Happy New Year! Nothing rings in another year like a review on a film focusing on the economic collapse of the late 2000s, right? Anyway… Montages of excess and breaking of the fourth wall allow The Big Short to perfectly illustrate the underlying messages throughout the film. That is to say, the economic greed and […]
Dark Matter (TV Pilot)
Dark Matter has the potential to be a fun, exciting show that successfully builds from a rather lackluster opening.
Sugar recommissioned for second season on Apple TV+
Wolfs (2024)
“Wolfs”, which was released on Apple TV+ in a few days ago, works best whenever it simply focuses on whatever is exchanged between its two charismatic star actors. Having actually worked together more once in several notable films, they constantly click well with each other with considerable chemistry, and that is why it is rather […]

THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH
Style is half the picture. Story is the other half. William Shakespeare’s 17th-century play, The Tragedie of Macbeth, might be one of the greatest stories ever penned. If not, it’s at least one of the most durable. The desire for power, the ruthlessness of rule, and the all-consuming descent into madness that comes with conspiracy and […]
Happy Days Are Here Again for “The Morning Show”
The news doesn’t stop, no matter what’s going on behind the scenes. You either keep up or get left behind. In this case, however, it’s not so much about keeping up. It’s about recapping a terrible, terrible year. Well, enough of the events contained within it. Time will tell if these storyline approaches will […]

CODA
Apple TV + hasn’t exactly established itself as the go-to place for new movies; Ted Lasso is probably the biggest draw to date. But they certainly made a splash paying $25 million at Sundance for CODA, writer and director Sian Heder’s slight but utterly charming film about a fishing family living with deafness. CODA is […]
Ted Lasso
We’ve been holding out for a hero for some time now, but in the midst on unprecedented political corruption and staring down the barrel of a deadly virus outbreak that’s been going on for eighteen months, Ted Lasso arrives with perfect timing to capture the hearts and minds of an utterly exhausted public. Inspired by […]
‘TED LASSO’ or a Smile Means a Lot
During the peak of Christmas season watching, my friend Jen told me about a little show she loved called Ted Lasso. I’m normally not much of a TV person so I put it in the back of my mind and didn’t watch it until this last week. I needed a break from the heady nature […]

‘Palmer’ Review
Justin Timberlake serves up a healthy slice of cinematic comfort food in this tender drama about an ex-con who befriends a social outcast.

First Glance: “Cherry”
“Sometimes I feel like I’ve seen everything that’s going to happen. And it’s a nightmare.” That line of dialogue from “Cherry” really sums up the new trailer’s vibe nicely. This emotionally dense and dark-looking Apple Original reunites Tom Holland with the MCU’s Avengers architects Anthony and Joe Russo. But rest assured, judging by our first […]
Promising Young Woman

‘Dickinson’ Review: Season 2
The series plays fast and loose with history and sometimes loses its grip.
